Prominent crypto price-tracking platform CoinGecko unveiled a curated <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/alleged-sec-securities" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">list</a> of 48 tokens on August 8, 2023, and categorized them as the “top alleged SEC securities coins.” 
Leading tokens such as Binance Coin (BNB), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and Polygon (MATIC) are among those featured. These cryptocurrencies hold a combined market capitalization of over $92.7 billion, which is almost 8% of the entire global crypto market cap. 
However, Ripple Labs’ native cryptocurrency, XRP, is missing from the list. The omission is attributed to a recent partial legal victory that Ripple <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/nft-news-ducati-launches-nft-collection-in-collaboration-with-xrp-ledger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">secured</a> against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This victory was underscored by Judge Torres’ recent ruling, stated that “XRP is not to be considered a security,” effectively contradicting the stance taken by the SEC. 
The decision to exclude XRP from CoinGecko’s list underlines the newfound recognition of its legitimacy within the market. Ripple Labs’ <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ripple-applies-for-crypto-licenses-in-the-united-kingdom-and-ireland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">success</a> in challenging the SEC’s position has bolstered XRP’s status, signifying a pivotal moment in the token’s journey.&nbsp; 
Further, David Schwartz, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Ripple, enters the scene. He <a href="https://twitter.com/JoelKatz/status/1689004615965216771" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">jokes</a> about the list’s omissions in a playful manner.

It’s been almost four weeks since Ripple’s partial win against the SEC. That sent XRP to a new high in the $0.9 range. But the price of XRP declined by around 50% from its short-term rally. 
Although, at the time of writing, XRP price had <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/xrp-price-consolidates-at-key-resistance-potential-breakout/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">soared</a> over 4% in the last 24 hours and traded at $0.6454. Also, the crypto holds a 24-hour trading volume of $1.3 billion and market cap of $34 billion.
